What are the main statements we say at the beginning of a proof and at the end of a proof?
What are the given statement and the conclusion proof statement?
How do we know that <AEC=<DEB below?
What are vertical angles?
Side Side Side
What is SSS
What is the "Reason" for Statement #1 below?
What is "given"?
In a geometric proof, what do you always want to start with?
proof statement
Information given to you, either written or in a diagram, what should you write as the reason or justification?
What is given?
How do we know that CA=CA below?
Line segments are congruent to themselves
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
What is SAS
What is the reason for statement #3 below?
Line Segments are congruent to themselves
Name the 4 triangle congruence theorems we learned.
(Not including SSA)
What are SSS, SAS, AAS, ASA?
What do we call a statement that looks like below?
Congruence Statement
Name the 4 angles that point "E" the vertex of?
1) <AEC (or <CEA)
2) <DEB (or <BED)
3) <AED (or <DEA)
4) <CEB (or <BEC>
NOTE:
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
What is ASA
What is the reason for statement #3 below?
What is the Vertical Angle Theorem?
Given the congruence statement below, what side on the 2nd triangle is congruent to side CB?
What is FE?
What do we call the side across from the right angle in a right triangle?
What is the hypotenuse?
In the triangle below, if "D" is the midpoint of AC, what is AD congruent to?
What is DC?
What is the reason for statement #2 below?
Alternate interior angles
What congruence theorem can be used to prove the triangles below are congruent?
Not congruent.
SSA is not a congruence theorem.
Other than "given", name 3 other things you can list as a justification in a geometry proof?
Answers vary.
e.g. midpoint, bisector, alternate interior angles, reflexive property, vertical angles or AAS/SSS/SAS/ASA/HL, etc.
IF DB bisects <B, what angle is <DBC congruent to?
<DBA or <ABD
What theorems can you use to prove right triangles are congruent?
ALL of them!!
In the triangles below, AD || CE. Name 2 angles that must be congruent.
hint: DC and AE are transversals
What is <A and <E OR <D and <C?
Alternate interior angles.
